I'm shocked he's still alive honestly. Riley nearly assaulted him in his end of year presser when insinuated that the Heat were "handcuffed" with current contracts. His UM coverage is awful. He's an insufferable weasel.

Good, but never made the jump that was expected. He looks like a tackle that was built in a lab, but the mentality to be great is lacking. Once he makes a few mistakes, it tends to get in his head and snowballs.

Not a bad pick by any means, just never became what many thought he would.

he was ok. i'm not sure he moves well enough to play tackle in the nfl. his biggest issue is that his mistakes seem to snowball. he gets beat a couple of times, he loses his poise. he had a small meltdown against minnesota last season.

I mean he was a disaster at UF off the field, then quit the team or went to rehab(depending on what rumor you believe) at Miami

Guy has plenty of talent but those are some big red flags, much like preston williams

Yea. But in the 7th round or something, it’s worth the risk. I’ve never understood that mindset. Like with la’el Collins. Everyone knew by the end of day 1 he was innocent, yet every team kept passing. How many teams would trade every player they picked in the later rounds that year for Collins?

Every team in the league disagreed. Remember these scouts talk to everybody about these kids and perhaps the feedback they got back from those people is different than what his coaches said publicly

There’s a reason nobody drafted him, and it wasn’t his on the field play

I wasn’t just talking about Willis. I’m talking about these guys who are clearly talented but fall for injury or off field reasons. By the time the 7th round rolls around, who cares. Draft for talent. If injuries mean they never play, chalk it up as an L and move on. How much better would our OL be if they had just drafted Collins a few years ago instead of begging him to sign with us as a UDFA.

In addition to Williams who has a lot of potential, the OG we picked up as an UDFA made PFF's top 10 UDFA list:

G DEION CALHOUN, MISSISSIPPI STATE – MIAMI DOLPHINS
Playing 275-plus pass-blocking snaps for the Bulldogs in each of the past three seasons, Calhoun has earned 70.0-plus pass-blocking grades since his 2016 campaign. In 2018, he allowed pressure on just 3.9% of his 337 pass-blocking snaps. His run-blocking grades didn’t wow us during his time at Mississippi State, but consistency in pass protection is valuable for a Dolphins team that needs such efforts in the trenches.
